Google Calendar A bridge to creating, viewing and sharing your professional and personal schedule of events
In order to access it go to: • Go to your Gmail account and click on calendar in the upper left hand corner. • Or simply go to www.google.com/calendar.
It can be used to post the library’s hours in Public or Academic Libraries…
- or to post Children’s and Adults’ events at the Public Library…
Library Staff can use it to organize both their professional and personal calendar. • Library Patrons can view it and quickly discover the Library’s hours or events.
Please check out my Jing! Screencast on Google Calendar • Demonstration
Advantages • Easy to maintain and search • Can be synched or shared • FREE!
Disadvantages • May not look professional enough • Not the same level of tech support available (as there would be with one of this software’s competitors, Microsoft Outlook)
I would choose Google Calendar… • For organizing my own personal or professional events. • I would agree with the library using it to post library hours, not necessarily events.
